Book Review: Midlife Battle Cry

Midlife Battle Cry: Redefining the Mighty Second Half is a wonderfully funny and wise book! Here’s my book review.

Book Review: Midlife Battle Cry

When the loudest overnight storm of the year wakes you up THREE TIMES between 12:18 am and 4:32 am the night before you have a 5.5+ hour solo drive to a conference, you just have to find a reason to laugh.

I am glad I had this hilarious book to cheer me up. Around 1:30 am, when I was reading about what happened while she was making out with her past boyfriend, I quiet-laughed so hard that tears squeezed out of my eyes and I woke my dogs up.

It is a great book full of affirmation and encouragement, with a few butt kicks thrown in. I’m not quite as far along in midlife as Dawn is, yet I appreciate her big-sister leadership into the next stage of my life peppered with so many laughs.

She has so many great pop-culture references for Gen Xers like me, which made it feel very girlfriend-friendly. I love her self-deprecating humor as well as her time-tested faith. My favorite quote from the book that is still making me laugh is this one:

“I even thanked [God] for my turkey neck, albeit through clenched teeth. A turkey neck, I thought to myself, is better than no neck at all.”

Dawn lovingly proves how our midlife years really are better than our twenties in so many ways. It’s time to look forward with renewed joy, even though we may need to fight for it. Midlife Battle Cry is your plan for getting through the challenges with greater hope and bigger smiles.
